Leading
air induction specialists Pipercross now have over 200 kits in their carbon
fibre VIPER range of Cold Air Induction Kits.
The
technology used in the VIPER was first seen on the Lotus 340R,but now Pipercross
are making it available for an ever increasing range of popular road cars.
The VIPER uses ‘velocity air force ’to direct cold air directly into the
engine.
The 75 or 100mm cold air feed takes air from behind the grill straight into the VIPER ’s
100mm diameter inlet, swirling it through a unique Pipercross velocity filter
contained within a carbon fibre heat shield,and then into a ram pipe to increase
it ’s pressure before feeding it into the induction system.

The
carbon fibre heat shield protects the air charge from under bonnet heat
keeping it cool -and therefore more dense -thus introducing more oxygen
into the combustion mixture,giving increased power.
The reverse flow technology filter and 150mm ram pipe make use of the
physical phenomenon of air tending to move towards surface area's,
creating more air flow on the edge rather than in the centre of the
inlet. The unique design of the filter cone and the inlet 'tune' the
moving air flow to increase its speed and therefore its pressure
maximising the laminar air flow into the engine, again resulting in
increased power. |
The physics involved may
sound a little complicated but the increase in power using a VIPER against a
standard air box will be immediately evident. Just as obvious will be the
VIPER's stunning looks - the carbon fibre heatshield connecting the polished
alloy inlet to the 150mm rampipe will be the focal point of any engine bay!
The Pipercross VIPER Cold Air Induction Kit is now available for most popular
cars.
